Dr. A.T.W. Simeons introduced HCG hormone in the treatment of obesity in 1950s. He wrote the book “Pounds and Inches”, where he explained the process of weight loss with the Human Chorionic Gonadotropin hormone. The hormonal diet drug is formulated in different forms which include HCG Injections, pills, gels and sprays. The injections are the allopathic medicines which were developed earliest.
Is Weight Loss Possible With HCG Injections?
The Simeons’ protocol suggests that with Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD), the regular dosage of HCG shots can result one pound weight loss per day. When HCG is introduced in the body, it stimulates the hypothalamus.
The body turns into a situation similar to that of pregnant women. The additional energy production becomes essential. Since food consumption is restricted to 500 calorie per day, there is no option left except breaking down the localized fats. The hypothalamus becomes active to burn the abnormal fats to ensure additional energy production. Thus the body doesn’t reach to starvation mode even under VLCD and the dieter experience significant fat loss from the flabby areas.
No physical exercise is required during the protocol. The diet can be taken up by anyone above the age of 16, who has reached puberty.
Though the HCG shots are effective enough, people prefer the homeopathic drops for their easy administration. The sublingual drops are homeopathic medicines and can be taken without prescription as per the FDA rules. The drops are prepared after a series of dilution and hence considered absolutely safe from all kinds of side effects. The drops can be taken at any time as per the convenience of the dieter. The storage is easy as no refrigeration is required.
